skinkididoo Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 i think some people had seen this before elsewhere, but the fastlane login page now says this: GRFP will be unavailable Sunday, April 5 from 5:00PM ET until 12:00AM ET on Monday, April 6 for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience. 2009 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship awards will be announced in early April. We apologize for the delays. maybe we'll get lucky on monday... here's to not worrying about it this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting UC Berkeley? I was too last year, then I called and they promptly sent me my rejection, as I had mentioned in an earlier post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, this made me realize we won't get results until at least Tuesday. Who wants to guess dates? I'm guessing we find out thursday the 9th.

vannik Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 FYI NSF page is down 230 am mountain time {430 eastern} Friday night. 230 on a Friday and I'm still at school. Don't judge me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't judge me. it does that every night at exactly the same time, don't take it seriously..

vannik Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Ah. Well that script sure is a better excuse than being up a 430 checking the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttsssssss Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Ah. Well that script sure is a better excuse than being up a 430 checking the page yeah, it emails me whenever something odd happens, so that's how i know about the downtimes (they might be in this thread as well). anyway, don't worry about it for a couple days..

Sam-at-Tech Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 yep, I posted this earlier. I agree, this made me realize we won't get results until at least Tuesday. Who wants to guess dates? I'm guessing we find out thursday the 9th. 12:00AM is the first minute to begin the 24 hours of a day, so if they are down until 12AM Monday we should theoretically receive word by Monday morning. By Tuesday the site would have been back up for a full 24 hours, and surely if they took the site down for seven hours to *potentially* post results they wouldn't make us wait for one more full day. They couldn't be THAT out-of-sync with our needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alh126 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 hmmm For some reason when I read it I mistakenly thought that the site would be down until Monday night, not Monday at 12 a.m. So yes, maybe they will recognize our needs and post them Monday! Here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddrum001 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Sorry if this bursts anyone's bubble...but I believe that the scheduled maintenance on Sunday night occurred last sunday as well. While I remain hopeful for Monday, I wouldn't hold my breath. If you did every time NSF missed a "deadline", you'd be dead several times by now. Instead, why not start working on your proposed research to pass the time. After all, it's out of our hands at this point...but the results of our work are still in our control. I'm sure most people are concerned with the results more than the money any how; it's easier to make 31K in almost any career other than science.

snowcapk Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 You're all delusional for thinking this downtime is a good sign. They're probably beefing up security so the rating sheets and award announcements stop leaking out. Such leaks were the best thing you could have hoped for in the next three days, since the awardee list hasn't reached the GRF operations center yet. And now the leakage will cease :/ Terrific. They couldn't be THAT out-of-sync with our needs. That's rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's rich. I agree we probably will not see it Monday, but I wonder if it could cause the leakage of something like rating sheets again! Didnt they have a downtime a week before the release last year? I cant remember if it was this or something else. Regardless, there was no correlation to a release.

blargh Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 okay, so i know i have a really small chance of getting the grf, but i was so anxious about hearing back that i don't know what to do with myself until then. except distract myself. a lot. how sad.

blah2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I remember my undergrad college got lists of undergrads/graduates who had applied,not the entire list. based on his response, he might not have gotten it (atleast I would have been more ecstatic. Go out and have fun in that case..=), you got into some great schools anyways). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam45 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Would they seriously notify them before us? Annoying. I don't want to learn I didn't get anything by getting a congratulatory email about someone else in the department! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vice Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Yeah, it sucks. I want to be happy for the winners, but it is hard when you are also just blindsided by the fact that you lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
